    Españoles: Ha llegado la hora de pelear y de concluir, de una vez para siempre, con los que os vienen oprimiendo.

  • Speech on the Reform Bill

    —

    en

    And, Sir, I think it cannot be said that this was a measure which bristled with securities and precautions that have been given up at the bidding of our opponents. That a great many of them have been given up I shall not deny; but they have been given up not always or in the…

  • An Appeal to Congress for Impartial Suffrage

    —

    en

    A very limited statement of the argument for impartial suffrage, and for including the negro in the body politic, would require more space than can be reasonably asked here.

    en

    Mexicanos: La causa que con tanto valor y constancia sostuvo don Benito Juárez, había ya sucumbido, no sólo a la voluntad nacional, sino ante la misma ley que este caudillo invocaba en apoyo de sus títulos. Hoy hasta la bandería en que degeneró dicha causa, ha quedado abandonada por la salida de su jefe del…

D. 1864, did, with the object to suppress the existing rebellion, to induce all persons to return to their loyalty, and to restore the authority of the United States, issue proclamations…

  • Last Public Address

    —

    en

    We meet this evening, not in sorrow, but in gladness of heart. The evacuation of Petersburg and Richmond, and the surrender of the principal insurgent army, give hope of a righteous and speedy peace whose joyous expression can not be restrained. In the midst of this, however, He from whom all blessings flow, must not…

    After four years of arduous service, marked by unsurpassed courage and fortitude, the Army of Northern Virginia has been compelled to yield to overwhelming numbers and resources. I need not tell the survivors of so many hard-fought battles who have remained steadfast to the last that I have consented to this result from no distrust…
